1 April 2006. Ann Craney. Hello I came across your website while searching for information on my family. My great great grand father was a Bryan Mitchinson from Sunderland and as you have the name on your website I thought there may be a connection. Bryan was born in 1798. He went to London where he met and married Mary Trapp in 1819. When searching I found that most of the Mitchinsons came from the North East of England. Ann Craney. acraney1@hotmail.com
